France, Britain Urge Russia, Syria Govt. to Halt Raids on Moderate Opposition
French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday called on Russia and the Syrian regime to "immediately stop attacks on the moderate opposition".
In a declaration after an annual summit in northern France, the two leaders urged all parties to stick to a ceasefire and halt human rights violations.
The statement also urged Russia and the Syrian regime to stop attacks on medical sites as well as "their march on Aleppo, which is compromising peace and threatening to dramatically worsen the refugee crisis and benefit Daesh," or the Islamic State group.
